A Place to Which We Can Come, and for a While “Be Free to Think About What We Are Going to Do
type: Product
description: Hana Herimerdinger pays tribute to the studio practice of her father, Jonathan Monk, and invites us to take a behind-the-scenes look at his work. Between March 4 and 6, 2026, Hana Herimerdinger documented her father Jonathan Monk's Berlin studio with an analog camera. Edited by Luca Cerizza, Jonathan Monk. A Place to Which We Can Come, and for a While "Be Free to Think About What We Are Going to Do" is, beginning with its title, a celebration of the studio as both an archival space and a site for new possibilities of thought and work, within a practice long considered "post-studio." Exploring this space, we are invited to look at works pulled from crates, displayed and set in dialogue with one another—from early pieces to projects still taking shape—offering a view across three decades of work, its linguistic references, and its creative methods. The graphic design by bruno, meanwhile, plays freely with the manipulative and combinatory possibilities inherent in Monk's practice, adding yet another linguistic layer to an ongoing conversation between past and present. Like a partial and deliberately unsystematic catalogue, this book documents, categorizes, and discusses—through a critical essay by Cerizza—hundreds of works, and undoubtedly many ideas, as part of a body of production that is almost impossible to measure. A Place to Which We Can Come, and for a While “Be Free to Think About What We Are Going to Do Jonathan Monk bruno & Archivorum x M, 2026 170 x 240 mm, 304 pp; English & Italian softcover ISBN 978-88-99058-94-4
